How long.

How long before the U.S. becomes a dictatorship? People say it could never happen because we have a constitution. Do you really think that would stop a person who keeps consolidating control and power and desires to rule forever.

Being a old man from Maine who graduated in 1976 like you. Id like to give you a bit of reassurance. I believe the FBI, CIA, and our millitary will follow the constitution not the dictator.
